Yeah, I noticed that, about some people with symptoms of Asperger's not wanting to be treated differently and not wanting to talk about it. I think someone I know has a diagnosis. She describes it as "something I do not and WILL NOT EVER talk about." I think she's referring to the condition.
The evolutionary thing is something I am thinking about reading up on myself. Although, looking back, the girl in question (not the one in the first paragraph)said things about being able to do math in her head, and when she asked me to give her a long division equation, she was off by about 150. She got all embarrassed and tried to come up with justifications for that.
When she said "conservative," she is talking about it in political terms. She does have an intolerance for anyone who is Republican, yet at the same time says she likes the Tea Party. At this point, I am confused. She could just really be an insecure person, but I don't see how telling people you have this condition helps with that. If anything, it may scare people away. I dunno.
Is it normal that I question Asperger's Syndrome?
